Hello, Neighbors --
A group of parents from Lea, Powel, and Penn Alexander Schools is organizing a
visit to Councilwoman Blackwell's office as part of the Public Citizens for
Children and Youth's School Action Day on Thur, June 12 at City Hall.
To represent the broad spectrum of families the school budget problem impacts,
we are keen to join forces with parents of children at other public schools in
Councilwoman Blackwell's third district. The visit to Councilwoman Blackwell's
office is scheduled for 9 am. To keep the conversation open and intimate, a
small group -- no more than 10 parents -- will meet directly with the
Councilwoman.
If you know of parents in third district public schools who might be interested
in visiting Councilwoman Blackwell, would you share this message with them? To
prepare for our visit, interested parents should send me the grade level of
their child(ren) and the school their child(dren) attend, along with their
names and contact information.
And we hope that every West Philadelphia parent will consider coming out to
School Action Day! Below is the schedule. Parents are invited to join at any
point that is convenient for them. Everyone's participation makes a difference!
Thank you!!
